Two or more Z-Wave controllers

[thucar]

I'm trying to run two separate Z-Wave USB controllers on my installation, to help alleviate the max-nodes limit as well as keeping separate networks for better responsiveness.

However, I can't get the setup to work. I have created two sets of zwave-controller nodes, one on port /dev/ttyACM0 (Controller1) and the other on /dev/ttyACM1 (Controller2) but it looks like only one of the controllers is active at the time. For instance, if I add a new device to Controller1, then start inclusion on Controller2 and add a second device, then that device still gets added to Controller1, not Controller2

When I connect only one controller at a time, add a number of devices to each, then connect both again, then I'm only able to communicate with devices added to the Controller1, no matter who I send the commands to.

Hello, The underlying nodejs plugin currently does not support multiple controllers. I have made some work, still unfinished, towards adding this, but is still a big TODO ...

I’m trying to accomplish the same. But I guess this is quite a niche. Can you elaborate on some of the difficulties involved?
